LM Database -- The Laminin Database

URL:

http://www.lm.lncc.br

What you can do:

Find information about non-collagenous extracellular matrix protein family, the LMs.

Highlights:

The Laminin(LM)-database focuses on the non-collagenous extracellular matrix protein family, the LMs.
Part of the knowledge available in this website is automatically retrieved, whereas a significant amount of information is curated and annotated.
In its home page, an overview of the rationale for the database is seen and readers can access a tutorial to facilitate navigation in the website, which in turn is presented with tabs subdivided into LMs, receptors, extracellular binding and other related proteins.
Each tab opens into a given LM or LM-related molecule, where the reader finds a series of further tabs for 'protein', 'gene structure', 'gene expression' and 'tissue distribution' and 'therapy'.
Data are separated as a function of species, comprising Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Rattus novergicus.
There is specific tab displaying the LM nomenclatures.
In another tab, a direct link to PubMed, which can be then consulted in a specific way, in terms of the biological functions of each molecule, knockout animals and genetic diseases, immune response and lymphomas/leukemias.
